My heart stopped when I saw an email from Harvard prez in my inbox, esp. after the mealy-mouthed missive from several days ago.
Such a relief to read this! 💪🏽

The Promise of American Higher Education
No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I want to bring attention to the fact that a launch like this one can release 76k tons (69k tonnes) of greenhouse gasses (ghg)
carbonmarketwatch.org/2024/08/30/b...

They launch about 91.3 times per year. If each was like this, they would release more ghg than a small European country did in 2019.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.

This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

Scientists fear that Trump’s DEI crackdown will reshape who can participate in science for years to come, drain creativity, limit the scope of projects, and lead to worse research.

“It is common sense that to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment."
The dire consequences of science without DEI
"We are very much at risk of losing an entire generation of researchers."

"It is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires... I can't think of a parallel... DOJ, SEC, were investigating Musk companies, that all goes away now, and he makes money at the same time."

I was on MSNBC with @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight, talking Elon Musk & corruption.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡
